Keir Starmer supports Donald Trump's planned state visit

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has rejected calls to cancel Donald Trump's upcoming state visit. He stated he would not be distracted by criticism from the SNP and others following Trump's recent comments about Ukraine. Starmer emphasized the importance of maintaining strong ties with the US, despite growing opposition to the visit. This will be Trump's second state visit, a first for any US president. Some politicians, including SNP leader John Swinney, have expressed concerns about the visit after Trump's remarks. However, Starmer and others, including Lib Dem leader Ed Davey, support the visit as a means to strengthen commitments to Ukraine.
